2D sonic, perfected. honestly nothing else to be said

the best mario story ever told. one of my favorite stories ever told, honestly. in terms of gameplay, it really is fun, and every questionable design decision it makes feels engineered to be as absurd as possible to get a laugh out of people

might be the best in the series, it's so cute and fun and understandable yet complex

rhythm heaven is such a great series, and this is a collection of some of its highest moments, mixed in with new content that stands side-by-side with it.

i wouldn't be where i am now without this game, genuinely. it introduces you to level design and the experience of making a game in such an approachable, genius, and social manner. i'm sure games like dreams will have this effect for other people, but this was the game that struck at the perfect time in my life to inspire me. nothing is truly flawless, but this is to me.

yes, even the shitty online levels. THEY'RE PART OF THE CHARM

either this, 4 or 7 is my favorite in the series. plus this one has tundra man so it makes me swoon

phenomenal platformer, just wish the 100% wasn't.. like that. yeah i'm never doing that shit

unironically the best multiverse story besides spider-verse, it's such a great crossover and one of the lego series' finest. just with the starter pack you're already getting a 10/10 campaign. just make sure to play on ps4 or xbox one, the last gen version chugs

the level and boss design suck so bad but it's so cool in every other way. sorta like sonic cd honestly

weirdly still sorta fun, in its own janky way? you HAVE to use savestates and a map, though

just like super metroid, need to replay it to appreciate it better

a little basic but a lot of fun, even if it doesn't stick with you for very long

played on pc too. i can never get enough of this game, there's really nothing else like it.

beautiful game that has a lot of actual game design flaws. but idk sometimes that makes it more memorable

the very deconstruction of a re-release on top of the original's existing mastery of its craft. a must-play.
